Our job as small firm architects is not only to design great buildings or to prepare construction documents, which become the legal contract between owner and contractor. Our clients have big dreams, little idea of how to achieve their goals and often carry unrealistic expectations regarding schedule and budget.

During my interview with a potential client, I answer many questions. And like a good architect, I would explain the difference between architects and contractors and politely say, “No. Contractors build them.”. The bid process is transparent and contractors are selected with full participation from the owner.

Most sole practitioners and small firms I know struggle to meet the minimum requirements of operation. These are services available to your client, but are NOT included in your basic architectural services. Through the years we have learned that not every project and not every client is a good fit for these services though.

When we receive a contract for a new project, we all want to jump right into designing. I tell clients that we could design a successful project with nothing more than a scope of work and site plan. This is true, but it is only after listening to our clients hopes, needs and dreams that we can take each project to its pinnacle.

A client requested a paint color used on a past project. In a controlled and managed way, clients, consultants and contractors, should all be able to access and contribute to the database during and after the project is completed. Frustration is often a catalyst for innovation.

But welcoming a contractor or engineer that I’m counting on for high-level referrals into my house does not portray the kind of professionalism I’m going for. About 50% of my leads that year had come through direct connections or referrals from other contractors and architects. Does it add an hour and a half to my meeting for transit?

We practice under legal contracts requiring us to meet very high standards and provide services putting us at risk. Relative to the other expenses of a small firm, professional liability insurance is down right expensive… until you need it. If your firm is practicing without insurance, you should reconsider your decision.
